FINAL INVESTIGATION

FINAL INVESTIGATION

Time continues to pass. And before long, it's the end of the week once again. Maybe it feels strange to call it that when there's such little sense of time besides the changing phases of the moon, and maybe the exact day doesn't even matter to you anymore. But regardless of the day, regardless of the month, regardless of the year, one thing is certain:

The time for preparations is over.

Because as the moon in the sky shines blood red, it becomes clear that all of the fog and the tremors were nothing but omens for what was to come.

And so, on Friday morning, Survivors will find themselves waking up to the sensation of energy practically buzzing through the air, prickling and tingling on skin like static electricity. Those who venture outside will also find that the fog that's creeped up in the recent days has been dispelled entirely, which includes the impassable kind that once hid a number of the buildings. Despite this, the tremors themselves do not lessen, and in fact, the earth itself seems to be vibrating with this energy as well.

The feeling will only get worse as the day progresses, and those who have been marked by the manifestations may feel more restless than normal.

The clock is ticking and there are some new areas to explore. No one's coming to save you, so there's nothing to do but to save yourselves, right?

[ Does the bottom space seem the right side for Skala?]

[umbralant]

[ It can fit Skala, yes! It's a little larger than that, so you could jam other things into there as well. Going to try? ]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Yep. He's going to grab a few Skala from the table and insert one, then press power. Let's see.]

[umbralant]

[ The screen turns on to a numerical output with V as the unit of measurement. Inserting a small piece of skala causes the number to rise, and inserting a larger piece causes it to climb even higher. ]

[inordertobelieve]

This measures some component included in Skala. Volt...?

[ Saying this out loud for a while the benefit of his fellow investigators.

How much V does 1 Skala tend to hold? And is there anything else the gauge seems able to do aside from label V?]

[umbralant]

[ 1 skala is roughly 0.5 V! The small pieces give 0.4V, the larger ones 0.6 V. The gauge doesn't do anything else except measure V. ]

[inordertobelieve]

[ OK so how unwieldy to carry would this gauge be if he wanted to take it?]

[umbralant]

[ Not unwieldy at all! It's about the size of a very large brick. ]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Absolutely taking this then. And...]

Cumore...?

[ Shit.]

[psychophant]

[still deadeyeing a blender—]

What? [glancing over] Did he head on upstairs?

[UGH.... C'MON TERU MIKAMI, LET'S GO AFTER CUMORE........]

[inordertobelieve]

That insufferable man had the gall to tell me not to be reckless...

[ TIME TO CHASE UP THESE STAIRS YEP.]

[psychophant]

Why even bother asking for my opinion if he's just going to run off on his own anyway?

[UGHHHHHH THERE ARE SO MANY STAIRS.........]

[inordertobelieve]

Caring about someone else's opinion for more than two minutes in a row seems to give him trouble.

[ Just complaining under his breath here as they rush. He doesn't really mean it much but he's so irritated by being made to worry.]

[psychophant]

It really does. He should have at least notified us.

[Not like either of are worried, though!!! Of course not.]
